The ELEVATEX project supports textile SMEs in their dual green and digital transition, while strengthening their international competitiveness. As part of this initiative, a budget of €1.98 million will be distributed to European SMEs through a cascade funding system via two calls for proposals.
Launch of the first call for proposals – ELEVATEX Open Call 2026
This call for proposals is scheduled to open on June 1, 2026, with selected projects set to launch in the fall. It will enable the 20 selected textile SMEs to each receive €30,000 to develop new products and services, through an initial call for individual projects (one beneficiary SME), featuring a short and simple application process.
Objectives of the ELEVATEX Call for Proposals:
- Support the development of innovative textile products and services,
- Strengthen market readiness and the evolution of business models for textile SMEs,
- Accelerate the textile sector’s ecological and digital transition.
Are you a textile SME? Don’t miss this opportunity to fund your innovation and support your growth.
